***Jason's POV

"Jason! No!" Serena screams, as I feel the sword deep inside me.

I look up, gasping for air and I see Drew paralyzed in shock.

Now's my chance.

I slowly stand up, and I pull the blade out of my body. Blood oozes out of the puncture.

"How? You should be dead!" Drew exclaims, as he tries to escape, but I don't let go of my grip on his hand.

"Don't worry, I will be. But I'm taking you with me."

I twist his wrist, forcing the blade out of his hand. I take it in my own bloody hands. I grab Drew by the shoulder and drive the sword into Drew's chest. Drew gasps, as the blade pierces through his body. I slowly walk forward, bringing us closer to the edge.

"Jason, no!" Serena yells, as she attempts to catch up with me, but Ash jumps into action and wraps her in a hug, not letting her go anywhere.

Bryon tries to stop me with Drapion, but Mega Lucario jumps into action, while Sarah tackles Bryon down.

Mega Garchomp is busy with my Charizard, who is overcomed with anger and just goes ballistic, launching attack after attack.

Drew, shaking, reaches at his belt and pulls out and unleashed the rest of his Pokemon. Before they can react, Crystal unleashes the rest of mine. They automatically clash into each other, an all out war is unleash.

"How? Where did you get the strength to do this? How did she get your Pokemon?" Drew asks shakily, as we are only a few feet away from the cliff.

"Crystal grabbed my pokemon while everyone was busy watching Bryon lose to Sarah and Ash." I say, as I give one final effort to lift Drew above the cliff, his feet over the edge.

"And this? This isn't strength. It's numbness. I realized that I have felt much more pain than this. That was the day you killed my mother, my oldest, closest friends, and that also happened to be the night my heart was broken." I say, as I let go of Drew, and watch as he falls until he disappears into the mist.

I slowly turn around, and see everyone looking over at me.

"Thank you," I say with a smile, as I finally give in to my torn body, and fall over the cliff.

***Serena's POV

I can't believe it.

"Jason!" I yell, as I start sobbing into Ash's chest. Ash holds me tight, and I look up at him, and I see tears coming off his face.

"He did that for us Serena. We owe it to him."

We do, no doubt about it.

I take a look at the Pokemon. Both Drew's and Jason's Pokemon stopped fighting, and look at each other in disbelief. Mega Garchomp turns back to Garchomp, being that his bond with his trainer is now broken. Forever.

"What the hell."

We both turn and see Silver sitting up, a dazed look on his face.

"I wake up to see that happen? I can't handle it. First Gold, now Jason," Silver says, shaking his head.

Crystal stands slowly makes her way to Sarah, who pinned Byron to the ground, and his unleashing her anger on him, punching him over and over again.

"Sarah, stop it, please. Lucario, help me pull her off," Crystal asks, as Mega Lucario turns back to Lucario and pulls her off of Bryon.

"Ahhh! Leave me alone!" Sarah yells, as Lucario lifts her in the air, her arms and legs frailing everywhere. Then she stops, and starts sobbing in Lucario's arms.

"Why is everyone crying?"

"Gold!" Crystal screams, running and tackling Gold back into the snow. He seems fine, just a few cut and bruises.

"What just happened?" He asks. And before anyone can answer, the snow stops falling. I look up and I see a bird's shadow, coming towards us.

"Is everyone ok?"

I can't believe it. It's May.

Her Pidgeot slowly lands on the ground, and she hops off, taking a look at everyone.

"Where did you go?" Crystal asks.

"After realizing I probably wouldn't be much help fighting, I told Misty and Dawn we should go get help and that's exactly what we did. And good thing we did too, because the Pokedex Holders wouldn't have lasted much longer on their own," May says, with a smile.

"And I see you guys took care of Bryon," she says, gesturing towards him. He lays on the ground, broken and bruised from Sarah's beating. She then furrows her eyebrows.

"Where's Jason?"

We all look at each other, until Ash clears his throat.

"He's gone."

***???'s POV

"Leafeon, where are you going? It's in the middle of a snowstorm!" I yell, shivering.

"In the middle of the summer too, I might add."

Suddenly, the snow stops, and the sun breaks through the clouds.

"Leafeon!" Leafeon cries, running closer to Mt. Moon.

I sigh.

I follow Leafeon, until I see Leafeon sniffing a, body?

"Leafeon! What is that?" I ask, rushing over.

"Leaf!"

Leafeon nudges the body. It moves.

"Oh my Arceus! Leafeon, he's still alive!" I yell. I grab a Pokeball.

"Swampert, come out!"

Swampert appears, growling.

"Swampert, this man needs our help! Help us carry him to a hospital!"

"Swamp!"

"Leafeon, use Vine Whip!"

Leafeon uses Vine Whip to lift the body onto Swampert's back.

"Let's go!" I yell, leading them out of the forest.

***Later that Day***
***Serena's POV

We're all laying in our own hopistal bed, being checked by doctors. Ash and Sarah are the only ones who came out pretty much without a scratch from the battle, so Sarah is checking up on everyone while Ash has been at my side the whole time.

"Ok, so you have a case of hypothermia, so you're gonna give you some meds for that, and just stay cuddled up in blankets for a few days, and you should be fine. Luckily, it's a very small case, so just take care of yourself," the Nurse says as she walks off.

"You heard that? Looks like we're gonna be cuddling under blankets for about a week," Ash says with a smile.

"That sounds great," I say, with a weak smile.

Jason.

Why did he do that? There could've been another way, right? If only I could've figured something out, and been more assertive, I could've saved him.

Ash's wrapping his fingers around mine and giving me a tight squeeze brings me back to reality. I see Sarah coming our way.

Uh oh.

Sarah walks up and gently leans in and gives me a hug.

"Thank you," she says, her voice breaking.

What?

I look over at Ash and Pikachu, who are exchanging shocked looks.

"What for?" I ask, trying to keep my composure.

"For not picking Jason. You could've easily picked Jason to save your boyfriend. But you didn't, and for that, I thank you. And I'm sorry for being a bitch. I was just, jealous," Sarah says, letting go of me, wiping away tears.

I could never choose between the two. But she doesn't know that.

"I joined the search party with the Officer Jennys after they secured the Pengen, and we found Drew's body. Near it, we found a trail of blood leading to a river, then disappears. They think he's dead, but, I, I don't know," Sarah says, trying to hold her tears in.

"Don't worry Sarah. I'm sure we'll find him!" Ash says, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"We'll find out, I promise," I say, smiling. Sarah tried to return the smile.

"Ok."

Sarah's smile suddenly disappears.

"What's wrong?"

"The police are coming this way."

Ash and I turn the direction Sarah is facing and there are three Officer Jennys talking to a nurse.

Before I can say anything, Ash stands up.

"Ash, where are you going?" I ask. Ash looks at me and smiles.

"It's ok Serena. Everything will ok. I have to pay for my mistakes," he says, as he hands me his Pokeballs and pats Pikachu on his head.

No.

"Thanks for everything buddy. I promise we'll continue where we left off as soon as I get back."

"No! I need you Ash! We need you! You can't leave me already," I plead, grabbing his arm.

"It'll be ok, we'll be back together soon, I promise," Ash says, as he gently pries my fingers off his arm. Pikachu coos sadly as Ash comes back to the side of my bed, and kisses me.

"I love you Serena."

"Ash, please, I love you. Don't leave me."

Sarah shifts awkwardly. The officers found us and are making their way over.

Ash then grabs my hand, and waits them to arrive.

I won't let them take him. I'll grab my Pokeballs, and-

"Sarah, please make sure Serena doesn't do anything that'll get her in trouble ok?"

Sarah nods.

Great. Just great.

The officers are now just a few feet away, and one of them is about to say something, until someone cuts them off.

"Stop right there!"

Blue stumbles over, his head wrapped in bandages and his arm in a sling.

"Blue, what are-"

Blue ignores Ash and ushers the officers away to a corner.

We watch as Blue discusses with them. The officers' faces become a shade of red, but Blue continues to speak. The officers then look among themselves, then walk away. Blue then makes his way over to us.

"Blue, what did you just do?" Ash yells, balling up his fists.

Blue's eyebrow raises up.

"I didn't know you wanted to go to prison. I wouldn't have conviced them to leave you be."

"What? You did that?" I squeal, nearly jumping out of bed.

"Yeah."

"Thank you so much Blue!" I say, smiling.

Ash stares at Blue.

"Why did you that?" Ash asks.

Blue shrugs.

"You did kill them. This doesn't change that. You deserved to go to prison and rot in there the rest of your life. But, you did it to protect your loved ones, and to be honest I might have done the same. And you saved the world while doing so, and for that the world thanks you. I thank you. You guys did what I asked you to do, so I returned the favor; that's how we do it in the Pokedex Family: We look after each other," Blue says

Does that mean were part of their group now?

"But what about the media? What will they say about him?" Sarah asks.

"I have an idea that will blame Drew for everything, so Ash will just be an uncover agent who found the cure to Pengen."

"But-"

"But nothing Ash. You redeemed yourself, so don't feel guilty," Blue says, as he turns to walk away. Then he stops and turns back.

"And besides, I couldn't be the one to destroy what Jason died to protect."

"Thank you," Ash says, as Blue walks off. Ash then climbs into my bed and wraps his arm around my shoulder and kisses me. I close my eyes, and kiss him back, but I then pull back.

"Sarah, I just-"

I stop, as I see Sarah is already on the other side of the hopistal room, walking alone towards the exit.
